Martin Thompson is listed in the Forsyth County GA 1850 Agricultural Census and the 1850 Federal Census #900.His Wife and All the Children are listed on the Federal Census except his oldest Child, A.J. Thompson.
The 1850 Census reports him being born in SC and his wife Catherine being born in NC.All children are shown born in NC except for the youngest child, Ransom Thompson, who was born in Forsyth County, GA in 1846.
There was one marriage from this family out of Forsyth County, GA in 1853.Martin's daughter, Sophronia Thompson, married Jesse (Jessie) Webb BOOK C; PAGE 23 FORSYTH COUNTY GEORGIA RECORDS, 08 Dec 1853.
Martin Thompson Sold his land in Forsyth County, GA before 1860 and moved to Tucker, GA where the family moved as well and settled in Stone Mountain, DeKalb County, GA.
